Quick Paper Napkin Fold

For the upcoming shindig, the number of attendees means I simply don’t have the appropriate number of fancy linen napkins available for each person. Not only that, but I have no interest whatsoever in ironing all that stuff. Nope. So paper napkins it is. But they lack a certain … pizzazz on their own.

I ALSO have no interest in sitting down and folding fifty napkins into something ridiculous and elaborate. So here’s something super quick you can do.

Grab your napkin and orient it so the corner where all the folds intersect is at the top and at the bottom it’s all open in four separate sheets.

Start folding up each sheet towards the top corner, but leave a little bit of space between the top and the sheet you’re folding up.

Repeat with the rest of the four sheets, flattening it into this stepped pattern.

Flip it over. Looks like a Superman logo.

Take the top side of the Superman logo and fold it across about one third.

Do the same with the other side of the Superman logo.

Flip it back over. Isn’t that pretty?

Then I took a rubber stamp and added a bit of extra fancy to the whole thing.

Tada. Now do forty-nine more!
